Milestone's Monday Munchies // Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers

Happy Monday! We're looking forward to a great week full of smart food choices, great workouts and lots of joy for everyone! This week's Milestone Munchie is Santa Fe Turkey Stuffed Peppers from SkinnyTaste. Red peppers have so much great nutritional value and are a great "vehicle" for lean proteins, beans and veggies!

Nutritional Value in Red Bell Peppers

Low in calories // 1 cup is only about 45 calories. That 1 cup will give you more than your daily quota of Vitamins C and A! Vitamin C powers up your immune system and helps keep your skin looking youthful.

Beta-Carotene // Red bell peppers contain several phytochemicals and carotenoids,  particularly beta-carotene, which lavish you with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. 

Vitamin B6 // Essential for the health of the nervous system and helps renew cells
